So I just bought a giessele pistol (11.5") which has the warcomp on it. I am having a tough time deciding between which suppressor I should go with Surefire SB2 or RC2. Help from anyone with experience on the these two suppressors would be great.
Suppressors Surefire SB2 or RC2

Like Marcus said above, you’d be find with either or. I’d personally get the RC2 if I could chose. Then again I don’t shoot any 556 with shorter then a 10” barrel
Thanks for the input, ill have to track one down. Local shops are out of both. Apparently people are buying suppressors at a fast rate right now.
Can’t speak to the sb2 but I use a RC2 can and i like it. Silencershop has the rc2 on there for backorder. From listening to their videos it seems like they put up the backorder option for product they know will be coming in, so you can reserve your spot.
You'd have to work pretty hard to wreck an RC2 even with a Warcomp and 11.5" barrel. They are very durable suppressors, and have excellent performance characteristics for a short gun. Mil uses RC2s like crazy on 10.5s 10.3s with no problems.

Give Scott a call at Tarheel State Firearms. Looks like they have both in stock. Good guy to deal with as well.
ETA: I've bought 2 suppressors from him this year and had engraving for an SBR. RC2 and Ultra 7. Fast shipping and good customer service.

I'll look into them. I'm kind of ignorant on the whole buying an item that requires a tax stamp online. Other than an online form how does it differ from purchasing in the store?
In my case
I purchased from stocking dealer (THSF). They file form 3 transfer to my SOT. Item is shipped once approved by ATF. In both cases approved in 48 hours. Item shows up at my dealer 2 days later. (I'm only one state away from THSF) Sent paperwork to ATF and the wait begins. My RC2 was purchased in March and approved 8/3 but stamp has yet to arrive at dealer. ATF is saying up to 45 days to mail stamp.

Tarheel is good to go. Hes my local suppressor guy. Ive bought every single can i have from him, if he doesn't have it he will get it in short order.
Finally ordered my first suppressor from Silencershop. Went with them due to their kiosks which are interesting. Saves me the cost of a transfer fee. Thanks for the info guys, I guess I get to feel the wait as everyone else here has. Excited for the surefire RC2.
Congrats! Seems like the wait times are getting shorter. Both of my cans were approved in under 6 months this year.
I know im already looking at a 9mm suppressor for my mr920 and another rc2 for my DD. I can't stop lol.
Any more suppressors you buy between now and up to a few months before your RC2 gets approved, will likely get approved at the same time. I bought 3 suppressors and an SBR (each of them months apart) and all 4 were approved at the same time. It was like Christmas Day!!
Interesting, I wonder if they pull up your name it will show all of the stamp applications associated with that individual. Good information.
